Viktor Hovland ended the PGA Tour’s season with a dominant victory on Sunday afternoon.
Hovland rolled to a five-shot victory on Sunday to win the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, which officially won him the FedExCup Playoffs. He posted a final-round 7-under 63 on Sunday, which wrapped up his second straight win to end the Tour’s season.
Hovland’s big outing came on the heels of his victory last week at the BMW Championship. Hovland set a course record 61 in his final round outside of Chicago to pass Scottie Scheffler for his fifth career win. He then built a six-shot lead entering Sunday’s final round in Atlanta, rolling to his sixth career victory without trouble.
With his win on Sunday, Hovland earned himself a check for $18 million. That brought his career earnings up to about $44.6 million. The FedExCup’s bonus pool hit $75 million this year, and the top eight players this week each earned at least $2 million. Emiliano Grillo and Taylor Moore, who tied for last, still took home more than $500,000 each.
Xander Schauffele tied for second at 22 under and US Open winner Wyndham Clark tied for third at 16 under – 11 shots back of Hovland.
